Prawit Wongsuwan speaks to reporters on June 29.

 

BANGKOK — Deputy junta chief Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan on Tuesday said he’s sorry for suggesting Chinese people are to be blamed for a Chinese tourist ferry accident that left more than 40 dead last week.

 

In his Monday remark, which reportedly sparked anger on Chinese social media, Prawit alleged that the “Phoenix” was operated by an illegal Chinese firm that ignored weather forecasts. Police said the incident remains under investigation.

“If I said anything that upsets people, I apologize. That’s what the reports I received said,” Prawit said.

 

Hope those reports were not received from a dead friend.

 

 

Silence is Gold

Had a bollocking from the Central Committee. Prawit doffs his cap to his imperial masters.

Stepped on some very big toes to backtrack on that one so quickly, and no doubt little p probably just passing it down to the watchman.

Saying sorry is one thing, meaning it!!!!  Not likely

Needs to focus on cleaning his fob rather than knee jerk assumptions.

 

I like his pitch black hair. Looks so natural. Mr. Most Hansum, he is.

Long past time le Fatty was put out to grass.

Every time the silly old fool opens his mouth utter clap trap comes out.

If that man had a brain he would be dangerous.

The Chinese don't forget easily .... this will give a disastrous image of Thailand in China and drastically reduce the tourist dollar tours within certain providers in Thailand.

He is too use to saying and doing things without repercussions.  Unlike an elected politician.    Blaming visitors to the country just shows what a terrible role model he is.  The watches are of course the cherry on top.  What a bozo.

Does this mean there could be a slight reduction in the Inventory 

in the coming months. 

 

 

Have been reading the Thai Facebook comments, and shockingly (or not) the majority there find it more important to openly complain about Chinese and Indians stealing their jobs.

Because that "thief" was democratically elected. The Junta was not. Some people try really hard to be stupid.

He should WATCH what he is saying or his only good face(s) will be on his wrist.

He criticized the Chinese! Isn't that like biting the teat that feeds you.

This is why they don't like foreign journalists in the country. They tend to say the right thing when the wrong thing is said. Did you see the pictures. They sickened me. 

Why they say anything is beyond me.!.., they dont run the boat.

Did I blink and miss something? Have we had another coup with a second Junta? Is that the New Improved Version - just add water?

 

When are they going to get rid of this Gullah?

Was it a Chinese run business?

It might be Chinese "run" but in the legal sense not Chinese owned.

The ‘Phoenix’ – T.C. Blue Company – is owned by 26 year old Woraluck Rueakchaiyakan, who has a Chinese husband Zhang Wenhao. To be legal the wife must own at least 51% of the business and employ a minimum of Thais in the business. Zhang says he is one of the employees. All employees in the company, except captains and boat crews (Thai?), are all Chinese.

You mean he speaks before he thinks. Trouble with that assumption is the thinking part. 

I know this guy's a fool and you're all having a go at him but maybe he's on the mark with this one.
